Tonight on "Morning Papers" the embellished expose regarding the only newsprint mentioned, namely:
The Christian Science Monitor.
At 10:20 PM during the program what should have been a fairly benign segment regarding rape was turned into a 'helplessness' segment starring the Terror Princess of CNN, Kelli Arena.
I was surprised she conducted this segment UNTIL she worked into the segment as a 'Mile Marker' of twelve years following the rape, the attacks of 9/11.
The 9/11 attacks proved to add no purpose to the segment except to bring it back to the forefront of a segment to 'deal' terror of a rapist out of reach due to statute of limitations and the fool-heartiness of the woman victim to testify before a parole' board when the convict was never convicted of the crime of rape at all. By supplanting herself again in the rapists life she is exposing herself as a potential victim again should he receive parole' regardless of her pleadings. She will have victimized herself, rather than secured her rapist who was never convicted into prison for the crime commited on her. This desperation for justice of the victim was also highlighted by her desire for suicide having only 'her faith' to keep her from the final act and of course not the judical system.
The segment had no redeeming social value only to provide a vehicle for terror and instilling helplessness in woman. It was not empowering, quite the contrary. Why would a woman expose herself at all to a system that limits it's conviction when evidence dictates otherwise. It served to discourage a woman's participation in reporting rape.
